Just as an experiment...as some of you are finding Teds posts "difficult" and "repetitive" and LOUD, whilst others like Factomundo, think they are the bees knees...We thought we would try as an experiment having somewhere to store all these gems, where connoisseurs can go to enjoy, whilst others can take a detour. I will try and merge Teds Threads into one stream.. Now there is one thread called TEDS THREADS for all the threads he starts ..Lets see how it goes?
Why make a second class poster out of him, if you want him to leave you could ask him not to post any more, or ban him. That would be a more honest way of getting rid of him. For the record, I quite enjoy most, if not all, of his posts, I just don't feel the need to keep repeating it.
Ted's a QPR supporter and this is a free forum. If he's not breaking any of the rules he's got the right to post what he wants imo. If his input on this forum annoys anyone then use the ignore option.
I am not trying to ban him (odd suggestion there GC, why should I...he has done nothing wrong) or make him a second class poster....in fact this is the complete opposite effect I thought I would get (shows I have no idea what is going on). I thought the response I would get was...What is so special about Ted, why is HE given his own thread. I am being very very transparent about this, lots of people have put on threads, "give it a rest, please don't repeat"...which is why I put them on one place... But as I said this is a Sunday afternoon experiment, if the consensus is that the board do not like it, and if Ted does not like it....I won't do it. I will leave it as it tis until tomorrow morning, and see what the mood is then OK
He may not be breaking any rules but I would.suggest that there is an etiquette to being part of this forum that informs what people post and how often. I'm happy with a centralised Ted Thread though I do take on board the advice about the ignore button.
Good. This sounds in line with QPR Direction. If the policy is not what we want this week, tweet today and change it in a week if the consensual sh*t hasn't hit the fan by then; if the Manager hasn't got us top 6, give him until the weekend, and if he's not won a few by then, sack him, or if the mood isn't right, bring back Colin to advise him.....
Fair play but I still think this sucks big time! There has been many past members on this forum that wummed, baited, annoyed etc, they never got singled out in this way.
But Ted hasn't wummed or baited. Annoyed yes, but only by the fact of continuous repetition of the same old line. Ted means well, and hasn't intentionally set out to upset any posters, he just likes his little RANTS. Good idea Beth
Sorry Beth, I'm in no way having a dig at you personally, just this idea about Ted and his posting. For sure some will not share my view. I'v made my point so will leave it at that!
Sorry one more. But that's my point, yes he has not wummed or baited, much worse crimes have been committed on this forum.
Not terribly bothered to be honest. I know that does not really help you. Happy for to do what you think is best.
He's a watrb poster, was he thrown out by them? So he comes on here, he's annoying but should still post, own thread no.
Think that is settled then... I will not merge any more threads The Ted's Threads experiment is over... Mind you ..you have to admit the title "Ted's Threads" was good. Night night all....see you all on Tuesday whe I think we will win.
